How Can We Reach You?

Goal:

By the end of Day 1, you should know where everything is, how to properly set up and break down the booth, and how to confidently use the FotoGenic Check Cherry system.

What We Cover

Locker Organization & Standards

• Learn where everything is in the locker
• Everything goes back exactly where it was — no exceptions
• Help your team out by resetting the space for the next person
• Be mindful, be respectful, this is a shared space
• Always use the FotoGenic cart when loading equipment — do not carry everything by hand

Check Cherry (Event Command Center)

• 80% of what you need to know is in here
• This is the first place you check when you arrive — every time
• Do not guess details — check the event

Check Cherry Basics

• Always start with the Overview tab

Overview tab shows:

• What booth you are using
• Event time and setup time
• Location
• Notes from Felipa

Calendar view:

• Dark green = confirmed → you’re working it
• Purple = not confirmed → do not assume you’re booked

If you see a purple event you want:

• Message me: “If this confirms, I would love to take it”
• Once it’s confirmed, I’ll add you and it will show on your calendar

How to know what booth to take:

• Lights, Camera, Print → bring the printer
• Lights, Camera, Share → no printer
• Roamer / 360 → different setup (we’ll cover this later)

Design tab:

• Shows how many photos guests will take
• Shows layout (2x6 or 4x6)
• 3 photos = you are guiding 3 poses
• 2x6 = prints as strips

Questionnaire tab:

• This is where clients add notes directly
• This is also where you complete your Event Recap after every event see below

Notes section:

• Scroll all the way down — do not skip this
• Parking instructions
• Floor plans
• Prop instructions

Event Recap expectations:Questionnaire tab

• If something goes wrong, write it down
• Explain what happened and how you solved it
• This helps you learn and helps us catch patterns
• We use this info for venue Google reviews
• I use this to communicate with clients if needed
• Example: “The booth was down for 15 minutes due to XYZ”
• Be detailed — this matters
• I’ve got your back, we just need clear communication as a team
